Moot

I was browsing some other bookish blogs and I came across a link reading "Book Moot." I after asking myself, "What's a moot?" I clicked on the link with hopes of being enlightened. The blog defines moot quite well in its header. "The word moot is an archaic term meaning 'argue, debate, discuss.' In early English history, a moot was a meeting to discuss local affairs. Moot comes from the Old English gemot, meaning 'meeting.' " I'm definitely using this one next time I play Scrabble!
